Since the first fire school in 1973 the goal has been to improve the safety of Arizona's firefighters by offering high quality training. Well trained and knowledgeable firefighters can better protect the citizens of their respective communities from the many hazards of daily life. Each year the Fire School continues the work of the State Training Committee in meeting this goal. From Basic Firefighter Skills to Fire Service Leadership to Fire ground Operations the Fire School provides education in the skills and knowledge a modern firefighter needs to be effective while remaining safe. Fire School brings the Arizona Fire Service together, not only to educate but to celebrate our history and recognize our members, past and present, whose work and vision have created today's fire service.
